By Lori Kempton – Have you ever had to remove wallpaper? We just moved into a new home with wallpaper everywhere! I hear that it’s coming back into style. With my luck, once I get it all off, it will be popular again. I have stripped walls for days and
By Sherri Snelling – Whether your musical tastes run to the 70s TV show with the Partridge family singing their theme song, C’mon Get Happy or the 1950s song that inspired it, Get Happy made famous by Judy Garland, the message is that happiness is in our hands – not

By Sandra Abell, MS, LPC, ACC – When I was young, a woman’s job – at work and at home – was more about being a helper than making decisions and wielding power. Although support person, help mate, mother and friend are important roles, they can become unhealthy if you
By Sherri Snelling – I recently celebrated my birthday and it got me to thinking about our “real age.” Whenever I meet a friend for coffee the conversation now turns to our latest health issue (we are at that age) – hurt knees from running, migraines from changing hormones, sun
By Peter Kruger – As they approach late middle age members of the boomer generation are forced to come to terms with ageing. This often puts them on an emotional roller coaster ride similar to the one they experienced during their teens. And again parents are the source of some
I’m sure that you’re all very nice people, but please don’t be offended if I say that I’m not interested in watching your lives on a reality show. You certainly don’t want to see mine. Like now — I’m sitting in front of the keyboard, typing. I’ll do this for
By Olga Hermans – I don’t think I am wrong when I say that most of us desire to receive more from the Lord than we have in the past. Maybe you are thinking that because you have made so many mistakes and you have done so many wrong things
By Lynn Mosher – “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” (John 15:1 KJV) It’s that time of year when many brave souls have planted seeds in their gardens and are now weeding. Me? I’m probably still thinking about planting! Merely seeds of thought! Jesus planted

Your true style begins with the inner work. In the beginning of my career I would teach women about their best cuts, colors and styles and then run into them months later and cringe. I was not cringing because of how they looked, but because I knew they were not
The rose bush in spring brings forth its buds with bloom to follow. Then the fading of color, and intoxicating fragrance that distinguishes a rose from any other plant in the garden, as one by one the petals fall to the ground. Gathering up the aged beauty we try to
“I can live 2 months on one compliment.”- Mark Twain. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it. Impractical and maybe even impossible but worth a closer look. Think about how you feel when someone you care about pays you a compliment. Maybe it’s your boss, saying you really did an awesome job
GUEST POST: GENE T. ‘TOMMY’ BARNES “THE WELL” Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! (Psalm 139: 7-8 MSG) My grandfather, Daddy Buck, walked with me down
I have an old shoe box. Packed away somewhere. Filled with precious things. Love letters from my pre-wedding hubby. Old mementos. Probably a pressed flower or two. And other things I don’t even remember. I haven’t seen its contents in years. Do you have a box like that? Is it

Sipping on my tea and eating the last of my tiramisu birthday treat, I ponder some questions for you… In what realm do you have influence? Where is your territory? Who listens to you? With this in mind, I realize we all touch lives and affect someone! Either for the
A while ago I was talking with a couple about a particular problem they were having – they both felt they argued all the time, but never reached any resolution. Following my usual pattern of therapy, I gave them a homework assignment to complete before we met again. I asked
A year ago when I wrote this post, a son went from cap-and-gown to boots-and-uniforms. My prayers went where I could not. They still do. Parenting is a faith journey. Sometimes it is a hard faith journey – but a year later, looking back, a years worth of journey has
